I think I need the advice of more experienced researchers. I've been checking the parish registers of Netherseal for my SMITHs of Donisthorpe and found a marriage entry for Sarah SMITH, of Donisthorpe, spinster, (father George SMITH, labourer), who married Charles STRETTON in 1837. Although I wasn't aware of a Sarah in the family, all else fits - father's name and occupation, and the witnesses: George SMITH and Frances SMITH, are both children of George SMITH. This Sarah looks like a previously unknown sibling. Here is where the problem arises: I've found Sarah in the 1861 and 1881 Census and both times her birthplace is listed as Ashby LEI, and her birth date is about 1813. I think that this date might be out by a couple of years - The would-be parents of this Sarah married in 1805 near Market Bosworth and had at least 3 children between 1806 and 1811 before settling in Donisthorpe in 1812 and having 10 more children. If Sarah is one of theirs, she must have been before 1811. There is a gap (1807-1811) in the births of the known children, so its still possible that she is a sibling. I've searched the IGI for a baptism of a Sarah SMITH whose father is George and found nothing in Leicestershire in the time frame. I think that I should probably try to find her baptism to confirm/refute the theory. Another thing that troubles me about this is that Sarah and Charles had a daughter Mary a few months before their marriage. In the 1841 census, Mary is living in Netherseal with a couple who I cannot link to the family. I suppose the main question is does it seem likely that she is a sibling or is this just co-incidence? And, if I do follow this up, where is Ashby? Could someone please check the 1841, 51 or 71 Census to see if she stated a different birthplace or date? Thanks Sandra

>And, if I do follow this up, where is Ashby? > There are, according to "Genie" 4 Ashbys in Leicestershire. The I.G.I. confuses them sometimes. I have found records for Ashby Folville attributed to other Ashbys including "Ashby Flamville", (which should be Aston Flamville?) Ashby de la Zouch - to the W of county nr DBY border - approx 5k (4 miles) NE of Donisthorpe Ashby Magna - approx 10k S of City of Leicester alongside modern M1 Ashby Parva - ditto - on W side of M1 Ashby Folville - approx 10k NE of City of Leicester towards Melton Mowbray looked locations up on http://www.streetmap.co.uk/ Sounds as if Ashby de la Zouch is the nearest , a lovely market town! http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LEI/AshbydelaZouch/index.html Anne PalingSHEFFIELD, U.K.

Hi Bob, Have you tried using "exact phrase" after clicking on "search the archives"? If you're searching for a person, try putting in John Smith, but if that is not successful, try Smith John, or whatever the name is. That requires an exact match of name, so weeds out all the pages with the forename and surname appearing separately on a page. If still not successful, you may then have to try middle names in there as well. If the name you're looking for is unusual, then putting it in "with all the words" box may be good enough.

I see an Ann Humber born Barrow on Soar 1853. I also have Ann Humber, born 1849, died 1852 parents Thomas & Eleanor Humber. The 1861 census does not show Ann born 1853 living with Thomas & Eleanor. Other than sending away for the birth certificate do any readers know of any other way I can find out whether Thomas & Eleanor where her parents? Ann born 1849 is not my ancestor but her sister Mary is. I am trying to confirm relationship with another branch of my tree.
